The losers in daily youth have all become witches

"I think it's quite impressive that Asakura-san was able to eliminate almost half of the opposing team's members by himself."

Yanami appeared out of nowhere like a mushroom in the forest after rain and said, "Rather, the fact that our class, a ragtag bunch, was able to reach the finals was entirely thanks to Asakura-san, right? The others are as useless as bean sprouts."

"Oh, I was just saying that I seemed to hear Yanami cheering me on."

Li Mo touched his chin and recalled.

"Rather than something like that, the Ministry of Magic's projects are all over now! We can start 'that' now!"

The girl said this while rubbing her hands together cheerfully.

Although it looks cute, it has a subtle, cheesy feel to it.

"Yanagi, let's go with Yuigahama. I'll go look for Chihaya."

Li Mo said.

"Is Chaoyun-san going to participate too?"

Yanai was stunned for a moment and asked.

"I took the time to mention it to her yesterday, and she happily agreed. She also said she'd bring some beef for the sukiyaki pot."

Li Mo nodded.

"Great! As expected of Chaoyun-san, you really understand people's hearts!"

Yana saw Xiaoxiao cheering, then covering her mouth and looking around vigilantly.

After all, there are many student union members and discipline committee members patrolling the school today, so it is still important to be vigilant.

"By the way, what ingredients did Yuigahama-san bring?"

Yanaijian asked again in a low voice.

"Something to eat."

Yuigahama Yui answered.

Yanaijian: "?"

"Didn't you say we were going to make a dark pot? The ingredients would definitely be the most interesting if they were kept until the very last moment before being recognized!"

Yuigahama Yui said mysteriously: "Asakura-san, aren't you right?"

"Yeah, right?"

Li Mo wasn't too sure. If it was anyone else, there would be no problem with keeping a sense of mystery, but if this person was Yuigahama Yui, then it seemed a little off...

After carefully confirming that there were no student council minions around, Yanami took Yuigahama Yui away first.

Li Mo also began to look for Chihaya Asagumo's class.

After just two steps, I saw Chihaya Asagumo's iconic shiny forehead.

"Sorry, have you been waiting for so long?"

The girl quickly ran to Li Mo. Unlike her usual good girl look, the girl in sportswear looked more energetic, which made Li Mo's eyes light up.

The other party had obviously just finished his sports activity. Although he was not sweating profusely, there was a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

But it doesn't smell like the sour smell that is common after sweating, but instead has a light and elegant fragrance.

Li Mo had smelled a similar scent on Yuigahama and Yanami today, but the former had a light lavender scent, while the latter had a sweet citrus scent.

Of course, it's not the virgin fragrance that's unique to girls, something that's romantic for men. According to Yanami, it's the smell of antiperspirant that girls use to maintain their image.

After the explanation, the other party rolled his eyes at Li Mo for asking such an unromantic question and said, "So Asakura-san is not suitable for this kind of place."

"It wasn't long...or rather, I didn't have time to look for Chihaya-san..."

Li Mo subconsciously handed the towel to the sweaty Chihaya Asagumo, and then realized that he had just used this towel to wipe his sweat.

So when he was about to take the towel back and change a clean one for the girl, she had already quickly wiped her snow-white and beautiful neck, and even pulled her collar down a little, revealing a touch of snow-white skin and not particularly obvious sun marks.

"That... towel..."

Li Mo said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What's wrong with the towel?"

Chihaya Asagumo didn't seem to notice that the towel had been used, and asked in a quite natural tone.

"...Forget it, let's go to the activity room quickly."

It felt like everyone would get embarrassed if he continued talking about it, so Li Mo simply pretended he didn't know about it and just brushed it off.

"Takuma-kun is surprisingly fond of hot pot."

"Not really. I just wanted to check Yuigahama's ingredients and condition as soon as possible. After all, today's hot pot depends on her."

"You're trusting Yuigahama-san with the taste of the hot pot. Takuma-kun really trusts her cooking skills."

"No, it's not the taste of hot pot that's entrusted to her,"

Li Mo said seriously: "It's our life safety."

Chihaya Asagumo: "?"

Chapter 112: Dark Hot Pot.

Of course Li Mo was just joking.

After all, Yuigahama Yui's cooking skills are not that bad.

Apart from the fact that she had absolutely no concept of heat and would instinctively add various substances not on the menu to her dishes, and that she had a self-understanding of seasoning that was ahead of other carbon-based organisms, her cooking skills were only acceptable among the primates of the animal kingdom, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Hominidae, including Australopithecus.

Moreover, since hot pot has a base that is mainly made of water, no matter what ingredients she puts in it, the taste will be diluted and it will not be really inedible.

And there are also ingredients brought by other people, which can more or less share some of the strange taste.

Not only that, I also brought carrots, onions and celery which have the ability to absorb odors. With them, even the odor of meat that has been frozen for a long time can be removed!

"Aren't you going in? Takuma-kun, you've been standing at the door for three minutes now, huh?"

Asagumo Chihaya looked at Li Mo and said.

"...Wait a moment, I'm preparing myself mentally."

The stomach medicine and Niuhuang Jiedu Pills were also kept in the trouser pocket so that they could be used at any time.

That’s right, no matter what, at least life safety can be guaranteed!

"Chihaya, it's time to go!"

"I don't know why Takuma-kun has that expression on his face as if he's heading to a battlefield, but it's okay, leave it to Chihaya. I can handle anything."

"It's just a joke. After all, it's impossible to enter the final battle right from the start. At least the initial pot base must be fine."

After making sufficient mental preparation, Li Mo opened the sliding door of the activity room.

Then a strange fishy smell almost made him fall.

Li Mo looked into the activity room and saw Yanaijian holding a large soup spoon and stirring the electric hot pot. In the electric hot pot was a pot of black stuff that was constantly bubbling.

That scene even gave Li Mo the illusion that Yanami was the witch brewing the potion.

After being stiff for a moment, he decided to treat it all as an illusion and silently closed the door of the activity room again.

"Ah... Asakura-kun is trying to escape! Yui, catch him!"

Yanami's voice was heard immediately.

Next, Yuigahama Yui opened the door, and with a stern face and an expression of "Sorry, I'm a policeman", she pulled the reluctant but non-struggling Li Mo into the activity room.

Although Chihaya Asagumo frowned slightly at the smell, she still followed Li Mo in with a smile seeing his reluctant look.

When he entered the activity room, Li Mo found that Yukinoshita Yukino was already there, but she was huddled in a corner, looking desperate, as if she didn't want to have any contact with anyone.

Considering that she had always regarded the activity room as a place to realize her long-cherished wish, and now she could only watch Yanami and Yuigahama desecrate her sacred place with strange dishes, it was not surprising that she would have such a reaction.

How should I put it... She seems a bit pitiful, but she also has a certain cuteness that isn't there in her usual strong state.

"I said, what are you doing..."

Li Mo looked at the pot of black stuff and suddenly realized that he seemed to have smelled this smell before: "Cuttlefish ink?"

"Yeah, aren't we going to play Dark Hot Pot?"

Yanaijian said proudly, "That's why I brought squid ink here specially. It's quite fresh, and the owner of the fish market didn't even charge me!"

"The darkness in Dark Hot Pot doesn't mean literally..."

Li Mo couldn't help but complain: "And with this smell, are there other seafood in it?"

"Hehehe, then I can only say please look forward to it~"

Yanaijian's expression became even more smug, even a little mischievous, as if he really wanted to see Li Mo's expression when he ate the ingredients in the hot pot.

After a moment of silence, Li Mo suddenly said, "Dried squid?"

“Why can you smell it?!”

Yuigahama Yui asked in surprise.

"Don't underestimate my sense of smell!"

Li Mo raised his lips and said, "In a sense, it's quite traditional... well, there's bonito flakes, dried kelp, and clams. Putting the smell of the soup aside, the ingredients themselves are quite traditional broth ingredients."

In fact, squid ink can also be used to make soup. It is said that this stuff is used in ramen soup in some places, but the cooking method is definitely not to stew it in one pot like Yanai and the others did.

Moreover, the dried kelp and dried squid have obviously not been soaked, so I am afraid that there will be some astringent taste in the soup.

No, judging by the fact that Yanai didn't even skim off the foam, I'm afraid the soup stock will taste a bit...

"Amazing!"

Yuigahama exclaimed sincerely, "I could smell it right away."

"After all, he's a pervert who can even smell the smell of antiperspirant on girls."

Yanaijian looked at Li Mo with an ambiguous look.

"Don't make it sound like I smelled it on purpose!"

Li Mo retorted.

"Could it be that Takuma-kun is good at cooking?"

Chihaya Asagumo asked curiously.

"Unfortunately, my cooking skills are probably just average."

Li Mo shook his head. "Besides, seasoning is actually quite important compared to the ingredients... You guys aren't going to do something stupid like 'this turkey noodle seasoning packet counts as an ingredient', are you?"

Yanami and Yuigahama Yui both looked away guiltily.

"...I'm such a fool for thinking you guys are sometimes reliable."

Li Mo covered his face.

"It's not that spicy. I've tried it, and it's not spicy at all."

Yanaijian muttered to himself in a voice that everyone could hear, his eyes constantly glancing towards Li Mo: "Besides, the broth is almost done. It would be great if we could have some high-quality ingredients like sea bream at a time like this..."

"Then you'll be disappointed. I only brought vegetables."

Li Mo took out the processed onions, carrots and celery from his bag.

"You're so useless, Asakura-san."

Yanami's expression suddenly fell.

"After all, survival is the first priority."

"It makes no sense! And humans can't survive on just vegetables!"

Yanaijian pointed at Li Mo with a spoon and said, "Human civilization began when we could use stone tools to hunt other animals! Protein is everything!"

"Objection Ali! Plant protein is also protein!"

"Then you didn't bring any tofu!"

"I brought beef."

Chihaya Asagumo suddenly said.
